- Are these boots actually waterproof?
- Yes. The textile upper is waterproof, so snow, slush and wet grass do not soak through. The seams and cuff are the weak points in deep water.
- Can I hike in them?
- Only short distances. They are camp booties with a soft sole and no ankle support, so they suit the walk to the shower block or the parking lot, not trails.
- How does the sizing run?
- They run roomy and loose, which suits thick socks. Shoppers with narrow feet often size down or accept a sloppy fit.
- Are they warm enough for winter?
- Yes for standing around and short outings in cold weather. They are insulated but not heated, and they are not meant to replace winter boots for long exposure.
- Do they work indoors?
- They can, but the waterproof upper does not breathe well, so feet get clammy after a while. Many owners wear them only for trips outside.
- What are they best compared with?
- Against down camp booties they win on waterproofing and grip but lose on packability and softness. Against winter boots they are lighter and easier on-off but far less supportive.
